Challenge: Supply chain disruptions and high dependency on petrochemical feedstocks
Disruptive supply chains combined with the heavy dependency on petrochemical feedstocks are major challenges within the construction plastics market. Most construction plastic products, including the leading resins of PVC, polyethylene, and polypropylene, are produced from crude oil and natural gas hydrocarbon derivatives, causing a high level of dependency on a petrochemical source. The industry depends on always being able to source petrochemical feedstocks for a satisfactory price. Geopolitical tensions, international and domestic trade restrictions, and diminishing crude oil supplies all have direct effects on raw material availability and raw material prices, making finding an acceptable price for an adequate supply of raw materials unstable for manufacturers and contractors. Recent international events characterized by wars have demonstrated the fragility of supply chains, the emergence of delayed production schedules, extended lead times, and rising prices in construction plastics. Furthermore, the regional concentration of petrochemical manufacturing creates extended dependencies and areas of vulnerability; for example, a drought in Texas will affect availability and prices in Ontario, Canada. Problems with logistics, bottlenecks like container availability and port congestion, also exacerbate material shortages and prices. To firms working on a fixed budget with a tight time frame, such volatility makes it extremely difficult to effectively plan the project and earn a return on investment. The dependency on fossil fuel-based feedstocks also clashes with the global sustainability agenda; as a result, both manufacturers and the construction industry are spending time and energy exploring alternative sources of raw materials and recycling options in order to lessen dependency on petroleum-based feedstocks for their construction projects.
